Put a shortcut to Rainmeter.exe in start menu-->Startup, NOT Rainmeter.ini

If you're like me and don't like adding shortcuts to the startup folder in the Start Menu (don't ask why) you can add a simple key to your registry.
Open Regedit and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
Create a new String Value, name it Rainmeter and set it's value to the complete path of Rainmeter.exe
i.e.- C:\Program Files\Rainmeter\Rainmeter.exe
If you later wish for Rainmeter not to start up with windows, you can either remove the key or disable the option with MsConfig.

There's also programs that I'm pretty sure will do it for you.
I use Startup.exe - simple enough.
